Local body shop has got an old e30 pretty sure its a 325i. It has been sitting outside the shop for a few years. Owner doesnt want to sell it because he has over 1k in the paint. (he painted it with that weird chameloen paint that gained popularity a few years back). Body looks pretty good from what I can tell, no rust around liscense plate lights or inner fenders.
I can't find my old ETK discs so I can't decode the VIN, its WBAAA1309K8255234.
Big problem is that he says its running really bad. It'll start and drive but it runs rough he said, he started getting annoyed at my questioning so he wasn't willing to start it up for me at the time. He thinks its a blown headgasket. I'm hoping it is just a vacuum leak. He said with the current problems he might let it go as is for $800.
I mean body looks good and it runs, that should be worth $800 alone right?
He also said he just put rear wheel bearings and a performance clutch (I'm guessing sachs).
Should I be running to the ATM right now?
